Moisture and Mold Problems - When You Have Finished


Plan Remediation - Sampling - Protective Equipment - Hidden Mold - Clean-Up - Investment Remediation - Containment - Finish
  1. You must have completely fixed the water or moisture problem.
  2. You should complete mold removal. Use professional judgment to determine if the cleanup is sufficient. Visible mold, mold-damaged materials, and moldy odors should not be present.
  3. If you have sampled, the kinds and concentrations of mold and mold spores in the building should be similar to those found outside, once cleanup activities have been completed.
  4. You should revisit the site(s) shortly after remediation, and it should show no signs of water damage or mold growth.
  5. People should be able to occupy or re-occupy the space without health complaints or physical symptoms.
  6. Ultimately, this is a judgment call; there is no easy answer.
